I'm Stevi, a 22-year old Texas girl with an unusual love for food. I've crafted this space to share my love for “healthy living,” in every aspect of life. I firmly believe we ought to be mindful of what we put into our bodies, and that nourishment is not only physical, but also emotional and spiritual. The Lord has called us to fill ourselves with things that are good and pleasing to Him, in such a way that it overflows into the world around us.

Summer corn has made its grand entry, and just in time for the first official day of Summer! To me, the sight of these husks is permission to unleash all the warm-weather dishes. There are just so many ways to use it. Something I really enjoy is finding inspiration from eating out or traveling, especially […]

If there is one food I could never get tired of eating, it’s strawberries. I just adore them, and it’s rare that I go a day without having some for breakfast. But honestly, they are SO much more flavorful when they’re in season, so when they made their debut at the Dallas Farmer’s Market, I […]

This recipe can be classified under “throwing things together and praying it’s edible”, but let me tell you- I was SHOCKED at how this turned out. I was really craving something that resembled lasagna, but my stomach doesn’t do well with tomatoes, so I really had to think outside the box. And then I found […]

This is the ultimate “waste not” dish for when you’ve got a carton of eggs in the back of your fridge about to expire and those bunches of herbs you needed for a recipe but only used a snippet… Throw them all into a skillet and let them slowly melt together into custard-y goodness. Perfect […]

If there is one thing I have learned through studying nutrition, it is that no one diet or lifestyle is the “best.” Our bodies are all wildly different in their nutritional needs, and we have the freedom to tailer our diet to fit our specific needs. As long as whole, fresh foods from the earth […]

It’s 40 degrees and raining outside. And I’m standing in it, staring at a table full of root vegetables and leafy greens. If I’m honest, this is not my best experience at the Farmer’s Market. But rain or shine, I am here to support my local farmers- in particular, I’m loving what I see at […]

The only thing more exciting than waking up on Christmas morning is waking up to the smell of something sweet and spiced on Christmas morning. If the comfort of being home with family and the anticipation of the “magic” that happens every night before Christmas was an aroma, it would be this. I’m not much […]

One of the best things about the farmer’s market is, without question, the ability to interact with the farmers and vendors. To shake the hand that helped produce and harvest your food is to bring back the human connection we have lost through big supermarkets. This weekend, as I wound around the aisles drifting from […]

Does a craving for the holidays ever just hit you HARD? This past week I haven’t been feeling well, the weather’s been kind of gloomy, and all I can think about how cozy and comforting it’s going to feel when I get to go home for Thanksgiving. I had to do something to ease the […]

If the words “stuffed” and “squash” in the title of this dish isn’t sweet music to your ears, then what if I throw in “chorizo” and “queso fresco”? If you’re anything like me, there’s a straight up symphony going on in your head (and maybe your stomach) right now. Whether Texas weather chooses to acknowledge […]
